A JWT authentication service built with Spring Boot and Spring Security, backed by MySQL, featuring short-lived access tokens and rotating, revocable refresh tokens. It serves as a reference implementation/boilerplate for token-based authentication in Java microservices, with OpenAPI/Swagger documentation.

Use cases

• add jwt authentication to a spring boot app
• reference implementation of refresh token rotation
• boilerplate for a spring security login api
• set up token-based auth with mysql user storage
• learn how jwt authentication works in java
• starting point for a microservices auth service

When to choose

• you're building a Java/Spring Boot backend and need JWT auth out of the box
• you want a working example of access + refresh token flows with revocation
• you need a self-hosted authentication service you can adapt to your stack

When to avoid

• you use a non-JVM stack or a framework other than Spring
• you need a full-featured identity provider with SSO, MFA, or social login
• you prefer managed auth solutions like Auth0 or Keycloak
